That's bonkers.

I hope AMD's prediction comes true and things get better in teo years (hopefully sooner than that) because if not, the console and PC gaming business will look very dire. 

I don't think it necessarily does look very dire, at least not on overall - this situation is indeed detrimental to every segment, but probably the most to traditional desktop PCs, one with standard CPU+GPU+Memory approach. But if you put APU/SoC with unified LDDPR5X/6 on wide bus (so that you use one memory pool, that can serve both CPU and GPU, without latency or bandwidth issues, akin to what Apple is doing), sure you're loosing upgradability of classic DIY PC, but it's still desktop PC box running Windows/Steam (and we're seeing more of this from both AMD and Intel, and now nVidia as well). I think this is market that will expand, though probably at the expense of traditional desktop PC market.

Those systems are fine... for office PCs and low-budget machines that barely get used for anythign else other than checking your mail. For gaming machines, those are awful if you get a cheap one or as expensive if not more than a regular PC.

Therefore, I hate it.

Well at least I know why I couldn't find any Steam cards at Microcenter last Saturday...

I'm surprised. Valve said that supply should last unti lthe end of the year. Maybe it's a lack of suply of the store you checked?

Ah! The 12VHPWR/12V-2×6, the joy that keeps giving.

Damned be Intel for coming up with the standart and damned by Nvidia for making it mandatory for all its GPUs depite how dangerous they've proven to be.
